    My favorite Apple pencil

    I am a bit of a digital pencil girl ever since the Galaxy Note phone pencils (before the blow ups). I have the first Apple Pencil, and I never used it much because it was a lot of work. You had to remember to charge it, be able to find it, it was heavy, etc. Long story short this pencil is light and easy. Apple really thought about the user. It charged itself. I just have to remember to set it on the edge of the iPad. My pencil problems are solved. I use it much more often than the other one.

    Love this pencil and the fact that it charges wirelessly. I don’t have to plug it in and there’s no batteries that might go dead. Partially dictated the iPad model that I ended up purchasing

    I’m using my Apple Pencil writing this review. My husband bought me my first Apple product recently, the IPad Pro 11. After reading reviews I thought I might like the pencil to go with it. I decided to get it and So far. I’m glad I did. Still learning all its uses. I do like using it as a stylus and tapping is so easy. I tried the notes and I feel this will be very handy. Love how smooth it is. The magnetic storing and charging is also a nice feature. My husband tried it on his pro and now he wants one too.

    Single greatest accessory to the iPad pro. I use my iPad for school, and this makes it 10x better- and worth every penny I paid. I have gone 100% paperless since buying these two items (and a few others). I have never had an issue with the battery life, as when the pencil is not in use it finds a good home magnetically attached to the side of the iPad. The pencil feels good to hold in your hand, even for long periods of time. The only thing I have yet to determine is how long the apple pencil tip will last.

    A staple in one’s iPad workflow arsenal

    I’m a photographer working with the iPad Pro (2018) and this is like my 4th or 5th pencil repurchase, but not because they’re bad quality and keep breaking, but because of my negligence in losing them and giving one away to my nephew who’s picking up digital art. If something happens to my pencil, I will SCRAMBLE to buy a new one because it’s just sooo integral to my workflow. I’d rather not have a stylus at all than work with any other stylus for the iPad Pro… but I’d MUCH rather just have the Apple Pencil always at hand because of how PERFECT it is to work with. The little to no latency, the glide of the tip on the screen, the ergonomic feel of it in the hand, it’s just toooo good!

    Love the functionality of this Apple Pencil. My only issue is that it does not stay connected to the magnetic side of my iPad Pro where the issue tends to be it gets knocked off easily. I did not use my iPad Pro for a period of time and didn’t realize the pencil wasn’t fully connected. The pencil has since had a dead battery and will no longer pair to my iPad. Apple support said this will happen if the pencil is not charged for a period of time resulting in an absolute dead battery. The only fix, is to get an entire new pencil. Therefore the deduction of one star. Other than that the ease of use and ability to free draw has been awesome. I do however wish they would find a better way for the Apple Pencil to stay secured.

    I basically updated my stuff, I had an iPad Pro 1st gen with and Apple Pencil. What I like about this new version is the ease of charging, since it doesn’t connect to the USB c port and attaches to the iPad magnetically is so much better to carry it around

    Apple Pencil — 2nd Gen is great. Comfortable enough and a nice weight. The battery life has been better than I expected - used it all day taking notes, as well as downloading and then taking notes right on the presentation slides. Four hours continuous note taking. No prob - Super awesome! Only drawback is that pencils and pens habitually get dropped, or scooted off the desktop, or flung when fidgeting with them goes wrong. Mine hit the floor twice. Carpet is forgiving. Travertine is not. Mine tilts just a bit to one side.... but still works well. That’s an expensive lesson. I’m going to have to buy the cap from the 1st Gen. Really, I guess I wish it was an Apple Click (pen) so the tip would retract and be protected.

    Using with new generation (4th) iPad Air. The connection and charging function are excellent. It is easy and seamless to use with the iPad. You will find yourself getting comfortable with the pencil and eventually using it rather than your finger to use the screen functions. If you are not going to use the pencil for graphic art design, use with the Cricut, drawing, etc. I would probably not recommend the use of it for the price. Otherwise it’s worth it.

    The new Apple Pencil makes writing and taking notes much easier. It’s user friendly and I love that all I need to do to charge it is put it in the pencil holder of my iPad case. I gifted one to my sister in law because she loves to draw and she told me it takes her drawings to a whole new level.

    The second-generation Apple Pencil is a fantastic upgrade with its seamless magnetic charging and refined design. It’s incredibly responsive and perfect for both note-taking and creative work. The precision and fluidity are noticeably improved, making it a joy to use. However, I was a bit frustrated that my older Apple Pencil wasn’t compatible with newer iPads, which led to this purchase. Despite that minor annoyance, the second-gen Pencil has been a worthwhile investment, enhancing my productivity and overall experience. It’s a top-notch tool that makes up for the inconvenience of having to switch from my previous model.

    Why the heck did I buy this thing? I have no use for it but I figured I'd give it a shot. Honestly I don't even know where I put it. Save your money, skip this purchase. I gave it 4 stars because I don't have a reason to give it anything less or more. It's an Apple product so it's well designed. The few minutes I used it during set up, it was neat so yeah, maybe 4 stars because of that? Other than that, the majority of us won't have much use for it. Heck I dunno, maybe buy it and play around with it. Maybe you'll love it or maybe it'll be meh.

    Great product, very easy to use. Love the fact that it attaches to the IPAD for and charges while attached. Wish it would attached the other side of the IPad as well. Would recommend this for your Apple product. There are all kinds of apps out there to make the IPad seem more like paper as you write on it as well. Just check the Apple store. Great gift for a college student who has a mainframe computer and wants to take notes in class.
